Passed in Swindon at 06:30 this morning by a black Omega that looked like it had been raped by a scoobie and with a large rat as a bonnet mascot. Ring any bells?!
Welcome to OOF
Hi am having two Champiro VP1's fitted on Tuesday. Never heard of them but, at £63 each, fitted and balanced......Indeed, what's the worst that could happen...
Must be top end tyres for a Daewoo at that price!
I had "keycode lockout - engine disabled" upon refitting battery.
I've entered the code and she's fired up fine, all electrical systems seem happy enough and it now unlocks/locks on the key
The only error I'm getting now is "window not set" but I'm sure that's an easy fix, I'll read up, cheers for the info
Alarms, central locking and immobilisers(all part of the same system) were temperamental even when new and reliable. Now they're a real crapshoot as to whether it will work at all. Totally flattening the battery will not help.
Shit happens, she didn't mean to do it. The rangie isn't the early one, it is a later model with currently no electrical faults, I'm not overly worried
Plus, she can make it up to me
The day my P Reg CDX is finished the FL Turbo Weasel is going to the nearest Auction or scrapyard!!!
Prefacelifts definitely the only way forward
Fixed
I dont think there is any reputable source to find out how many pf are left on the road , there is none around here and hasnt been for 3-4 years
It probably is. I didn't change this one last year (which was the 2nd cambelt since changing) thinking it should be OK, but obviously its failed now.V6 is preventative
but unnecessary
Obviously not every one will fail, but it seems they are rare to fail before 80k, and far more likely after. Understandably I guess.
I'm sure some will last the life of the car. I'm sure some cambelts and tensioners would as well, but the more you use them, the more likely they will fail.
Difficult one to recommend.
